Taeyoung is a student of the University of Michigan who
is in his 4th year. He is designing RFIC circuits using both
CMOS and BiCMOS processes at high frequencies. He
lead the 10GHz channel select receiver design funded by
SRC/NSF and 24GHz fully integrated receiver funded by
DARPA technology for efficient agile microsystems.
Taeyoung is currently interested in radar and transceiver
applications at 77 and 60GHz respectively.
Jeongil is a graduate student of Purdue ECE and is currently
working under joint supervision of Prof Mohammadi and
Prof. Dimitrious Peroulis. Jeongil is currently designing
tunable inductors and transformers. He is also looking
at the application of these tuning devices in RFIC design.
Sunkook is our expert in carbon nanotubes. He has
developed alignment techniques to align carbon
nanotubes and has been able to demonstrate FET
type transistors based on these aligned CNTs. He
has also started looking at the growth of CNTs
using CVD techniques and has successfully
fabricated CNT transistors.
His goal is to improve the yield and the frequency
performance of these devices.
Rosa is currently working under our DARPA
Intelligent RF front End project. She is responsible
for the design of packages for tunable amplifiers
that will be designed by Raytheon RF components.
Rosa has also some interests in RF circuits based on
Si and has designed Si-based distributed amplifiers,
with extremely good performance.
Laleh is working on devices and circuits and
architectures based on Carbon Nanotubes. She
has fabricated some CNT based resonators and
will soon demonstrate her devices.
Together with Sunkook, she is planning to come
up with an architecture for nanoscale circuits, that
is let's say very cooool!
Hanil is currently working on extremely low-power
RFIC circuits.He is currently supported by Tellab
fellowship.
Hasan's project is on RF and Optoelectronic
Integrated Circuits. He has developed a novel
integration technology that has many advantages
over flip chip or wirebonding. He can reduce the
size of interconnect lines to only a few micron and
therefore can reduce the power consumption
significantly as there is no need for drivers and big
pads.
he is utilzing this technology to integrated InP pin
diodes and CMOS transimpedance amplifiers to
design optoelectronic receivers.
transformers
Daehee is currently developing 3D inductors and
transformers using a stressed metal technology. He
has fabricated very high - Q inductors (Q~80) at
extremely high frequencies. His transformers work up
to several GHz and have efficiencies higher than 90%.
He will be using these unique passive devices to design
Smart and Efficient power amplifiers.
Aryo's project is to design an ultrasound probe with
dimensions of approximately 1mmx1mm for
micro-endoscopic surgical applications. His challenge is
to design a lot of high frequency circuits inside a very limited
area. But he will eventually do it!
Aryo is currently a TA for Senior design course.
